Epson driver just does not work. I tried Ubuntu 14.04 with all available drivers, i always got filter error. If you try to call the filter from bash it says: "no such file or directory". I compiled the filter myself, then a cammand line call gave me "insufficient options" which looked promising, but the filter did not work. Unfortunately there is zero documentation for the filter, so i could not get it to spit out a log, althoug the source code has some debugging code. Openprinting.org gives information that is just a lie. This printer driver does not work. As last resort i chose "turboprint", a 30 EUR software which is not GPL but at least worked perfectly from the beginning. Even printing PDF files on a DVD surface on an Epson XP-750 works perfectly. I am running turboprint on a dedicated print server on Ubuntu 14.04 without X, this works perfectly, not the driver provided by epson.
